    Lotus invited me down to Caffeine and Machine to drive some of their cars one last time. I took out the Lotus Evora GT140, a car I've not driven before. My car for the journey was my Peugeot e208 and I took the opportunity to do a range test.

    Fascinating to see the real world scenario of predicted range in an electric car and actual range achievable.
    I share your hope that the Evora replacement is everything we all hope for as it may be their last petrol engined sports car.
    Ps. the camera feature was very interesting as well.

      I’ve got my fingers crossed, rumors are it’s pretty good. Glad you didn’t get too bored with the camera stuff 👍🏻

    I do really like the look of that 208 - looking at VW ID3's at the moment - did you? Seeing Lotus cars always makes me miss my S2 Elise 😭

    • @sammooresphoto
      @sammooresphoto  3 года назад +2

      Yeah I looked at the ID3 as well, at the time it was a bit more expensive and I wasn't really a fan of the exterior/interior

  • @adriches406
    @adriches406 3 года назад

    It can charge at up to 100kw (one of the major benefits over honda e/zoe) so it was probably the charger.
    As a side note. In normal mode I'm sure I remember reading you only get 100bhp in normal mode, the full 136bhp comes in sport mode. Maybe someone could confirm this?

    • @sammooresphoto
      @sammooresphoto  3 года назад +2

      Yeah I think it was the charger. That power figure sounds accurate to me, definitely feels like more poke in sport

  • @SegerGiesbers
    @SegerGiesbers 3 года назад

    i just can’t believe you couldn’t charge at Caffee & Machine. In The Netherlands you can charge in every possible street, so ‘our’ EV’s are always charging when not in use / during visits. Hopefully in couple of years, the charging infrastructure will improve in the UK!

    • @sammooresphoto

      Yeah, it will happen. Just needs some more time, would make it all work much better

      Standard V6 Emira has about the same power as Evora 400, so This one is still much faster

    You bought a city car ev and then complain about the limited range. Hmmm.
    2.4miles per kWh is so bad. My EV gets around 4miles per kWh. Makes a massive difference to range.

    • @sammooresphoto
      @sammooresphoto  3 года назад

      Now that i'm understanding the limitations and how to get better mileage I'm getting just over 4 miles per kwh on a longer run.
